[robracer]

aint that the truth but you need will power to keep em off, Brian if you challenge yourself its all positives including wellbeing & a more positive outlook, sense of accomplishment.

Is anyone else going to join up? come on you know you want to!

[robracer]

So Justin Liz & Dave what times you guys doing?.... I just rattled off 54 minuites for the 8 K's & backed it up with a 5K cool down ride to stretch the legs, the training is going well & I am sure I could go Mid 40's without the hills but the event is not flat so gunna have to push for better times.
Oh & it makes a huge difference not running after dinner

[Dizzi]

Dam dude that is good, did you run the whole way? when we did 8km the other night, I did it in 1hr 5min Jay did it in 1hr 10min, we walked and ran, Jay's shins were playing up a bit so that was why his time was a bit slower, we are going again Thursday night and hopefully Saturday morning. It was pretty cool, I was only very slightly sore on the muscle just above my knees which is the ones that don't switch on when I am not exercising, so waking them up was awesome and I strapped my knees which was even better, hopefully I can get my knee braces by the run, because it is going to make a huge difference. I think you and Dave will have much better times than us, but if I loose the 5kg before now and then and it's kick started our exercise regime again which is awesome so I we are stoked. When we get back from our runs we do a whole stack of stretching so that does help and I usually do my crunches then to. Oh and Robstar man yeah no running straight after dinner, massive cramps that way.

[robracer]

Yeah mate thats running the whole time ....bit slower up the hill sections & try to make up for it in the downhill sections, starting to feel good again & yeah loosing the KG's will the big payoff

How many pubs along the way? And who wants to do a pub crawl? Maybe tshirts to mark off each schooner? 8km should equate to approx 20 beers so it could be a long day...

If you organise it, they will come. I'm not a runner, but would totally do a pub walk for MS fundraising

Would love to but will be occupied elsewhere that weekend. The Mrs may be keen to do one of the walks if there is anyone else keen on that?

I was thinking seriously about this, but the walk is in a totally different location to the run. I think I'll give it a miss (unless there's a bunch of people who decide to do it), as I was interested in doing it with everyone, not as a separate thing

+1 for me also, I would do the pub crawl with a group....... I checked out the route and from memory, (20 years ago) I think we would pass one pub behind Wynyard, a few around the rocks area and one opposite Circular Quay....mmmmmm

[philbo]

I'm doing a bit under 6 mins per km but have only done 7km's so far - I'll probably do 8 one day next week just for practice, but I'm pretty confident I can do it.
